Phil Mason's New Orleans allstars

Phil Mason's New Orleans All Stars came together in 1992 as a result of a memorable reunion appearance at the Isle of Bute Jazz festival. It was made up of former members of Max Collie's Rhythm Aces plus other hand-picked musicians including the world renowned drummer, Colin Bowden, & the very popular Jamaican-born spiritual & gospel singer, Christine Tyrrell. It clicked with fans right from the word go, & a string of spectacularly successful appearances at major festivals in the UK & abroad soon won it an enormous & very loyal international following. The band is now widely regarded as one of the biggest traditional Jazz attractions on the international scene. Their music is exhilarating & emotional, with a distinctive sound of its own, & the band’s relaxed yet professional presentation, marked by spontaneous humour & colourful individuality quickly puts even the hardest audience at their ease.

There have been two changes in the band line-up recently: Laurie Chescoe has replaced veteran drummer & singer Ron McKay & trombonist Micky Cooke has joined the band straight from the Acker Bilk Band.
